Le roman social en Grande-Bretagne du XIXe siècle a été considéré comme l'effort d'un canon d'écrivains à prédominance masculine. Dans cette étude révolutionnaire, Joseph Kestner conteste cette hypothèse, arguant qu'il s'agissait d'une succession d'écrivains féminins - des femmes ne méritant souvent qu'une note de bas de page dans l'histoire littéraire - qui ont initié et avancé la tradition en utilisant la fiction narrative pour enregistrer des protestations, exposer les abus et promouvoir la réforme.
Kestner explore les contributions à la politique sociale victorienne par la fiction de ces auteurs négligés (Hannah More, Elizabeth Stone, Frances Trollope, Charlotte Tonna, Camilla Toulmin, Geraldine Jewsbury, Fanny Mayne, Julia Kavanagh, Dinah Mulock Craik) ainsi que des auteurs féminins plus éminents (Maria Edgege). worth, Harriet Martineau, Elizabeth Gaskell, Charlotte Brontë, George Eliot) et écrivains masculins (Charles Dickens, Benjamin Disraeli, G. M. W. Reynolds, John Galt, Charles Kingsley).
